well...now this sounds great! thanks!!! :)

LOL Forgive me,I'm kinda thick... Is 'Most Humorous' a separate category under Photography?It seems like you enter under Photography/Most Humorous or Photography/Landscape,etc.I'm guessing you can enter specifically for one of those sub-categories,but not both.Or just one general submission in 'Past/Present/Future.Is that right?Help.I'm confusing myself,lol! Sigh...I'm always so baaaaad at reading instructions... :^/

it's ok... ;] "1 entry per person, per category" "1 prize per person maximum, across all Holiday Contest categories." the "categories" being: 2D, 3D, Animation, Photography & Short Stories in Photography there will be 12 winners.. the preselected judging panel will pick 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 2 honorable mentions, 1 fave landscape, 1 most humorous & 5 runner ups "and the Grand Prize winner being selected from the highest scoring entry from each category" ...at least that is how i read & understand it, please correct me if i may be wrong :]

Thank you Cindy for clearing that up...and thank you Marlene for asking the question...i wanted to, but i didnt wanna look like the fool. LOL. Ooops...now i suppose i am the fool for being too honest...

Past/Preset/Future? Sounds like a challenging contest. I was just reading the rules and am a bit confused with this one: "Photomanipulations are allowed. But, NO 2D, stock or 3D elements will be allowed." I am a bit unclear regarding the difference between photomanipulations and 2D. At what point does one cross the line from a basic photo edit to a 2D creation? Also, what exactly is stock? If I am correct stock is a torture/corrections device popular back in the Dark Ages? Or was that a different time period? I think I'm clear about 3D. Please forgive my ignorance. -Jeff

photomanips allowed- applying effects, collage, layering.. no 2D- using fractals, tubes & other 2D apps (or 3D apps) stock- stock photography, photos that are not yours but can be used in other images ps.. i did check on this... family photos in collages will be accepted.. since it adds a "past" to the image as an example of past & present, my photo, "i remember when.." at the link (2 of the photos used were from the family photo album) also an example of a photo manip past, present & future... what does it mean to you off the top of my head... 3 Christmas ornaments hanging from a tree, 3 generations- mother & pregnant daughter in a Christmas scene, or 2 at a gravesite in the snow, landscape- deadwood, live tree, bud.. just to name a few :]

Thanks Cynlee. I figured something like that but wasn't 100 % sure. I remember "I Remember When..". Nice to see it again :-)

Oh WOW - but how do you get something from the future into the present to photograph?

Can I have the back to the future car please!!! What would rental be on one of those?

Rights Come With Responsibilities VAMP'hotography Website VAMP'hotography Blog

that's where some creative thought comes in.. ummm future..
again.. the unborn baby, a new plant bud.. etc.

actually, my Christmas Nativity post last year is another example.. there's past, present being the wise men (member's head shots) of today, & the cup & saucer/aliens being the future.. problem with that one is it's already been "published" in my gallery & would be considered a "collaboration" & i can't enter :( lol

there was a request to have the "Holiday" contest definition more firmly defined the following "holidays" will be allowed for images that may pertain to any of the November & December holidays for the purpose of this contest: Ramadan -- October 4 to November 3 Eid al-Fitr -- November 4 Thanksgiving -- November 24 Hanukkah -- December 26 to January 2 Saint Nicholas Day -- December 6 Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe -- December 12 St. Lucia Day -- December 13 Yule (Winter Solstice) -- December 21 Christmas -- December 25 Boxing Day -- December 26 Kwanzaa -- December 26 to January 1 Omisoka -- December 31 New Year's Eve -- December 31

Not one single swedish holiday. #:o( I havent even heard of half of these...siiiigh.

your entry must contain at least one of the suggested elements- past, present & future.. but it is recommented/suggested that all 3 should be incorporated into your image obviously this can be interpreted differently by the artist & judges.. just do your best & have fun with it :] @Andreas.. add whatever Swedish holiday ya'll have at this time of year.. you can imagine trying to do this internationally.. ;/ well, you get the gist of it

Zacko!!! You haven't heard of any of them?!! You been under a rock? C it's just my sense of homuor coming thru, nothing serious...
